1. Introduction
=======================================================================
This isn't a full walkthrough for Resident Evil Zero. It is only a Boss
FAQ. This FAQ is filled with detailed strategies about beating the
various bosses found in Resident Evil Zero. If you need walkthrough
help, go seek out one of the various walkthroughs available on the
internet. These tips are also far more detailed than the ones in my
traditional Resident Evil Zero walkthrough. The only sites that may
host this guide are:

=======================================================================
2. Boss # 1: Giant Scorpian
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER: Billy/Rebecca
DIFFICULTY: Easy
LOCATION: Train Car (Upper Floor)
====================
FIGHTING THE MONSTER
====================
Hopefully, whoever you're using (preferrably Billy) will have the
Hunting Gun. Fire two shells into the creature as it approaches the
character. Then, manually reload the gun through the item screen and
continue firing. You might only have 8 or so shells. Equip the Handgun
once the Hunting Gun is empty, and fire around 10-15 more bullets to
kill it. It might land a cheap shot at the character throughout the
battle, but the damage shouldn't be heavy (unless you're Rebecca, in
which case, use a Green Herb when hit). It'll eventually die, but do
not get to close as it spasms, or it will hit the character. Wait until
the creature stops moving for you to pass by it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================================================
3. Boss # 2: Giant Centipede
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER: Billy
DIFFICULTY: Medium
LOCATION: Marcus Mansion
====================
FIGHTING THE MONSTER
====================
Rebecca will be captured by the creature, so take the Hunting Gun, and
like the Giant Scorpian, shoot and manually reload. Hopefully you've
found more ammo for it. Keep your distance, because it'll take a while
for Rebecca to even get killed (if she does get killed, it's never
happened to me). The Handgun is the perfect backup, but you may have
also found the Grenade Launcher by now, which is a perfect and powerful
weapon capable of taking the centipede out. If you fire from a
distance, this boss will never hit you, but for cases such as using the
Grenade Launcher for close combat, it might land a few light hits.
Occasionally, it'll land that irritatingly strong hit which Billy
should heal from. Otherwise, this boss isn't too bad.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================================================
4. Boss # 3: Giant Bat
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER: Billy/Rebecca
DIFFICULTY: Medium
LOCATION: Chapel
====================
FIGHTING THE MONSTER
====================
It is preferred you have Billy fight the battle. He has more stamina,
and better gun aim. This boss appears after visiting the chapel save
room. Take the Shotgun out, and shoot. It's widespread bullets offer up
a great chance of shooting the giant bat or its small children. The
frustrating part of this battle is that in aiming, you must be quick to
shoot or else you'll likely miss. Also, it is frustrating because the
creature is hard to see with the pre-rendered camera angles (beauty has
its consequences). Try to stay in one place, where you can hopefully
see the bat, and shoot. The Grenade Launcher is also a powerful weapon,
with the Napalm or normal Grenade Rounds, but the range of the weapon
isn't the best ever, but it does take its toll on the bat. The bat
will, very often, swoop down and hit Billy/Rebecca. These hits are
actually powerful, so make sure whoever you're using has a decent
amount of health items, especially with Rebecca. Good luck with this
boss battle; a good eye and quicking aiming and firing abilities are
good traits to have against the bat.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================================================
5. Boss # 4: Proto Tyrant
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER: Rebecca
DIFFICULTY: Medium
LOCATION: Birkin's Lab
=================
FIGHTING THE BOSS
=================
Rebecca's alone, but as long as she has the Magnum which she should
have found in the cable car, she can take this boss out. Have Rebecca
shoot the Tyrant after it introduces itself, but keep her far away from
it in any direction. Watch out for its swiping attacks. Rebecca might
run out of Magnum ammo if her shots aren't too clean, but a weapon as
weak as the Handgun or maybe even the Custom Handgun can definitely
clean up after. However, the Grenade Launcher with acid rounds is
recommended as a backup. Historically (even though Zero is the very
first chapter in the RE series), Tyrants don't enjoy acid rounds and
this Tyrant is no different. The Tyrant eventually should fall, and the
elevator should reach Birkin's lab, allowing Rebecca to reach the
Marcus Mansion again, or the Treatment Facility.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================================================
6. Boss # 5: Proto Tyrant (2)
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER: Billy/Rebecca
DIFFICULTY: Medium
LOCATION: Treatment Plant
=================
FIGHTING THE BOSS
=================
With two characters, the Proto Tyrant is an easy boss to defeat. Just
arm Rebecca with the Shotgun or Grenade Launcher while Billy takes
control of the Magnum, and just shoot away. Two weapons should put this
monster down in about 20 or 30 seconds. Run to the end of the room with
the ladder if the Proto Tyrant comes close to swiping any of the
characters, especially the weaker Rebecca.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================================================
7. Boss # 6: Marcus Queen
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER: Billy/Rebecca
DIFFICULTY: Easy
LOCATION: Marcus Room
=================
FIGHTING THE BOSS
=================
This boss isn't too hard at all. Arm them both with powerful weapons
and just shoot the evil creature. It might land a hit on either
character, but nothing a Green Herb can't heal. After about 40 seconds
of consecutive shooting, the boss should fall. If you are having
difficulty against this boss, it's highly recommend you trek back
through the Treatment Plant and the Marcus Mansion to look for any ammo
you may have left behind. But this creature isn't hard at all, so just
shoot, dodge and land strong, clean hits.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================================================
8. Boss # 7: Marcus Queen (2)
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Part One
CHARACTER: Billy/Rebecca
DIFFICULTY: Easy
LOCATION: Final Room
=================
FIGHTING THE BOSS
=================
Just spend one minute or two unloading any ammo you might have on the
queen. Make sure Rebecca's using something like the Handgun because she
won't need a weapon after this battle. Popular candidates for this
battle are the Shotgun and Grenade Launcher, because they deal the
damage. The Magnum should be saved for the next boss fight. This boss
isn't too difficult, but you should stay clear of its tackle and acid
attacks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Part Two
CHARACTER: BILLY
DIFFICULTY: HARD
LOCATION: Final Room
=============
THE 1ST VALVE
=============
Rebecca will not be fighting in this boss fight, so it's all up to
Billy. Run down from where Rebecca is, and unload any weapon Billy
might have (preferrably the Magnum). Keep shooting so the queen is
pushed back, giving Rebecca the proper space to turn the valve. The
queen will likely take a hit at Billy, but mash the GameCube controller
so he gets back up quickly. Keep shooting, and Rebecca should
eventually turn the valve.
=============
THE 2ND VALVE
=============
Now, run to the left a bit, and start shooting the queen again. Rebecca
will run for the next valve, which ever is clear from the queen. Billy
might be out of bullets for his most powerful weapon, but if he has the
Custom Handgun, it will be a good candidate. Don't worry about wasting
bullets during this boss right. Just continue shooting the queen. If
you distract the queen long enough, Rebecca should finish with the
second valve. She'll move on to the third set, which is by a set of
stairs, most likely.
=============
THE 3RD VALVE
=============
Rebecca will probably go up a set of steps, but if she doesn't, it
doesn't matter. Continue the onslaught on the queen, avoiding it and
protecting Rebecca. Billy might be out of ammo by now, but if he isn't,
then just keep unloading. If the queen gets too close, go to the other
side of the room and fire with a long range weapon to distract the
queen (like with the Shotgun). Rebecca should finish this set of
valves.
=============
THE 4TH VALVE
=============
By now, your onslaught should slow the queen down a little bit, but do
not stop shooting. If Rebecca has a weapon in her inventory, take it
from here now and keep shooting. I hate to be repetitive, but it's the
strategy you must stick to. Lure the queen away from Rebecca, and the
final valve should finally be turned. The boss right ends in a cut-
scene.
